Facebook, the New AOL
Nov 7th
I’ve been meaning to get this analogy off my chest. That feeling has become more apparent when I try to explain this concept to my friends. My very first experience of the Internet was through American Online. I must have been 15 years old, living in my parents house, and not having very much money. My brother and I would spend hours on AOL surfing the web and playing mechwarrior within the safe restraints of the AOL application. “You Got Mail” would ring ever-so-often and we’d chat it up with our other cellmates in various child-predator-rooms chatrooms. It wasn’t until a coworker at Walgreens started referring to AOL as “the Play-play Internet” that I realized that I may have been in a Matrix and didn’t know it.
To Handle or Not to Handle
Dec 16th
As I grow into my adult clothes, I some times find it a little embarrassing to introduce myself as the all mighty and feared “FergatROn” hailing from the great planet of Cybertron. Well, it really depends on what circle I’m doing it with. Since the dawn of my online adventures, I’ve always had a cool user handle. Don’t get me wrong, I love my /nick, but I’m doing more and more online business nowadays and telling a possible business partner that my Twitter or Identica account is “@FergatROn” is starting to get a little awkward.

Hero Factory: The Fedora!
Apr 3rd
I followed Mathias Teugels around a bit (on Identica) and some how found myself at a Flash hero generator site; so I took some time out to create the official/unofficial Fedora Project super hero — The Fedora! I was limited in some of the tech accessories I could give him, but maybe someone from the art team will run with it.
Make your own Hero at www.cpbintegrated.com/theherofactory. Be aware that you can’t choose the hero’s name during the generation process. 
Create your hero and post a link here. I’d love to see what you come up with.

So; with every hero creation, you must have some specs or a history for your character. I will not satisfy that requirement today. Just know that he’s a heavy Linux user and his distribution of choice is… *drum roll please*… Fedora.
The GNOME Do That You Do!
Feb 6th
I still don’t know the full story about this GNOME Do program, but so far it’s the best thing… besides slice bread… you just can’t beat that! I’ve heard about this package when Fedora 9 was released. I installed it on my laptop, but never really learned, nor took the time, to understand how it works. Recently, there was a blog post (LifeHacker) that highlighted the new “Docky” theme, which gives your Linux box a certain popular MAC component. I’m not going to take a sip of the hateraide, this Docky component is awesome and it’s given my Fedora 10 a new lease on life!
Whatcha’ Say!?
